Life's short, live in the love

Friday May 18th, John 14: 23 Jesus replied: If anyone loves me, they will obey me. Then my Father will love them, and we will come to them and live in them. 24 But anyone who doesn't love me, won't obey me. What they have heard me say doesn't really come from me, but from the Father who sent me. What I find interesting about this passage is that the ones who love and obey God, God will come and live in them. For those who don’t love God, the result is that they won’t, not just don’t, but won’t obey God. It doesn’t say anything about God not continually coming to them and working with them to learn to love God. It also doesn’t say anything about the children of God not loving them. The only difference is that in the mean time, they don’t get the joy of knowing God is already with them. Life’s short, live in the knowledge of God’s love.
